Another Snow Day.I'm spoiled.Questions

Yep, another snow day for us. Did I mention I 'm not used to these? The flakes are bigger than I think I've ever seen.
How do people work (outside the home) with kids at home?
Will the kids go to school?
Can we sleep in?
What if you get stuck at work?
Do we have enough groceries?
Should I go to the doctor/dentist/whatever now?
What if we need to go out?
What if the electricity goes out?- We did buy a generator- so I can keep sewing~lol.
My car almost didn't even start yesterday. The garage door is broken so it has to stay outside :(

I've been spoiled for the last 16 years by the California sunshine. I was telling my husband yesterday..."Over there..."(in Orange County) you never had to get out of bed and think or plan for the weather.
Sometimes it rains, a lot, like in February. At most, you might have to cancel an outdoor activity.
If I ever see a tornado, I'll be "outta here" for sure. Are there tornadoes around here?
Enough whining...

I think I never showed my Christmas wreath...Before I put it away:

Some of the wreath's parts went missing in the move...Probably with those other things I mentioned before...
Some things like the mittens have been on there for years.
I added some partially broken ornaments- a polka dot ribbon and a little gnome from Ikea on there- I Went with a red theme because I saw a lovely red themed wreath on a French blog. I can't remember where now.
My daughter and I started putting Christmas away today~I like to leave my things up til Epiphany. Just a habit...We left the tree up tho' , because we still haven't taken our family photo in front of it. I still haven't sent out my European Christmas cards :0

We've had some handymen over for 2 days doing drywall and stuff in my future studio-i.e: a quarter of the basement...
I'll post some photos of the process as it gets done. I think it'll be interesting to see the progression.
The painting will be up to me.
I'm not sure about lighting either.
I hate fluorescent.
Any ideas?

One way...those broken blinds are coming down very soon.

the other way...towards the unfinished part...

I've been working on a project from this book. It's not turning out too well. It's my fault. I'm not used to working with such small pieces and I think (know) I screwed up adding 1/4 inches somewhere...I'll get it done soon.
But, I've put it aside for now and have added a 3rd pouch to the shop -up there on top.

Going to go do some knitting...and sewing and drinking of hot chocolate -How about you?
